This is a great little (16 minute) video that intuitively explains Bayesian probability from a variety of perspectives, but especially in visual (geometric) terms. Very useful for pretty much anyone - this is a critical thinking skill that applies in many contexts - but especially for researchers or programmers struggling with the idea.

Great informative link. Thanks for posting the link. I was just reading about the Bayesian Belief Network for my Research Methods course.

For fun, I recommend looking up the song "Good Bayesian" by Baba Brinkman, it's very catchy!

Thanks, Samson and Sondra. Excellent educational song! It's what rap was invented for.
